Hi list, Board: Broadcom 963268 CPU model: Broadcom BMIPS4350 V8.0 Kernel: 2.6.30 Toolchain: uclibc-crosstools-gcc-4.4.2-1 I encountered an userspace application crash with epc reported zero. I don't understand how epc register could be zero. Any help is appreciated. wps_monitor/1699: potentially unexpected fatal signal 11.
